World's Largest Guitar Ensemble...in Luckenbach

Luckenback.Poster Looks like the folks in Luckenbach are at it again. Abbey sent us this today:

"We need 2,000  guitar players to help us break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Guitar Ensemble.  The record is currently held by the Germans, with 1803 players.   Our Attempt will take place on August 23rd.  All proceeds from the event go to the Voices of a Greatful Nation Project which supports our vets."

They'd like to have at least 1,000 people registered for this thing by July 1st. You can do that here.

Good luck to everyone who decides to take part in this historic event...and make sure to tune your geetar before you play! We need to take down those Germans...

Jay Bennett- Left Us Way Too Soon

Jaybennettheadshot1 Man, I just don't know what's going on lately with folks passing! As I was listening to C.T.M. on my iPod a few days ago, I was thinking how wonderful the writing and production was, and wondering what Jay was up to. And so when Kyla Fairchild sent his obit this morning, I was in shock. He was way too young, way too talented, and way too unsung. Here is No Depression's commentary. Jay, we'll miss you.
